T61 system board change, entering machine type/serial

#1 Post by bluefruit » Wed Mar 05, 2014 5:58 am

I changed the system board on my T61 a while ago and I realised I cant use System Update because there is no information about the machine type and serial number on the new system board. I noticed IBM technicians use the Hardware maintenance diskette to do this. Is there anyway to get an ISO of it? or any other utility to enter the system info?

The HMD is proprietary software from IBM/Lenovo.
